Calcium channels in lymphocytes [PDF]
Immunology, 2001 On B and T lymphocytes, ligation of the antigen receptor (AgR) induces a biphasic Ca2+ response. In the initial phase there is a large elevation in the intracellular Ca2+ concentration as a consequence of Ca2+ release from intracellular stores. This is followed by a lower, but prolonged elevation that is dependent on extracellular Ca2+.1,2 This simple ...

Molecular bases of circadian magnesium rhythms across eukaryotes
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Circadian rhythms in intracellular [Mg2+] exist across eukaryotic kingdoms. Central roles for Mg2+ in metabolism suggest that Mg2+ rhythms could regulate daily cellular energy and metabolism. In this Perspective paper, we propose that ancestral prokaryotic transport proteins could be responsible for mediating Mg2+ rhythms and posit a feedback model ...

The involvement of actin, calcium channels and exocytosis proteins in somato-dendritic oxytocin and vasopressin release [PDF]
, 2012 Hypothalamic magnocellular neurons release vasopressin and oxytocin not only from their axon terminals into the blood, but also from their somata and dendrites into the extracellular space of the brain, and this can be regulated independently ...

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Multidrug transporters BpeB and BpeF from the Gram‐negative pathogen Burkholderia pseudomallei have a hydrophilic patch in their substrate‐binding pocket. Drug susceptibility tests and growth curve analyses using an Escherichia coli recombinant expression system revealed that the hydrophilic patches of BpeB and BpeF are involved in the substrate ...

A biophysical model explains the spontaneous bursting behavior in the developing retina
, 2018 During early development, waves of activity propagate across the retina and play a key role in the proper wiring of the early visual system. During the stage II these waves are triggered by a transient network of neurons, called Starburst Amacrine Cells (

Tissue-specific expression of high-voltage-activated dihydropyridine-sensitive L-type calcium channels [PDF]
, 1991 The cloning of the cDNA for the α1 subunit of L-type calcium channels revealed that at least two genes (CaCh1 and CaCh2) exist which give rise to several splice variants.

Mechanisms of parasite‐mediated disruption of brain vessels
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Parasites can affect the blood vessels of the brain, often causing serious neurological problems. This review explains how different parasites interact with and disrupt these vessels, what this means for brain health, and why these processes matter. Understanding these mechanisms may help us develop better ways to prevent or treat brain infections in ...

Weft, Warp & Weave: The Intricate Tapestry of Calcium Channels Regulating T Lymphocyte Function
Frontiers in Immunology, 2013 Calcium (Ca2+) is a universal second messenger important for T lymphocyte homeostasis, activation, proliferation, differentiation and apoptosis. The events surrounding Ca2+ mobilization in lymphocytes are tightly regulated and involve the coordination of

Dendritic spike induction of postsynaptic cerebellar LTP [PDF]
, 2008 The architecture of parallel fiber (PF) axons contacting cerebellar Purkinje neurons (PNs) retains spatial information over long distances. PF synapses can trigger local dendritic calcium spikes, but whether and how this calcium signal leads to plastic ...

Functional Importance of L- and P/Q-Type Voltage-Gated Calcium Channels in Human Renal Vasculature [PDF]
, 2011 Calcium channel blockers are widely used for treatment of hypertension, because they decrease peripheral vascular resistance through inhibition of voltage-gated calcium channels.
